Properties of Matter 4 Question 5

7. A glass tube of uniform internal radius (r) has a valve separating the two identical ends. Initially, the valve is in a tightly closed position. End 1 has a hemispherial soap bubble of radius r. End 2 has sub-hemispherical soap bubble as shown in figure. Just after opening the valve.

(a) air from end 1 flows towards end 2. No change in the volume of the soap bubbles

(b) air from end 1 flows towards end 2. Volume of the soap bubble at end 1 decreases

(c) no change occurs

(d) air from end 2 flows towards end 1. Volume of the soap bubble at end 1 increases

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 7. (b)

Solution:

  1. Δp1=4Tr1 and Δp2=4Tr2

r1<r2Δp1>Δp2

Air will flow from 1 to 2 and volume of bubble at end 1 will decrease.

Therefore, correct option is (b).
